Black Sabbath are marking today’s release of their new album, “13,” with a special live Town Hall event.

The band are participating in the event simultaneously from various parts of the globe: Ozzy Osbourne and Geezer Butler will appear from the live event at Angel Orensanz Foundation For Contemporary Art in New York City; Tony Iommi will connect from Birmingham, England; and, "13" drummer Brad Wilk and Jack Osbourne (who directed the clips to launch the album) will join live face-to-face via Google+ Hangout from Los Angeles.

The event is hosted by comedian Jim Norton, a host on Ozzy's Boneyard and a co-host on The Opie & Anthony Show on SiriusXM.

The new project marks the band’s first full studio record with Ozzy 1978’s “Never Say Die.”
